The championship prize is a silver cup, presented jointly by three eminent billiard-table makers, Messrs. Burroughes and Watts, Messrs. Cox and Yeman, and Messrs. Thurston and Co. Our Engraving shows the design of this piece of plate, manufactured expressly by Mr. J. W. Benson, of Old Bond-street. Mr. Cook will keep it till he meets a man able to beat him at the game'.
